does the guyed tower still retain its cost advantage when you factor in the
extra anchor points with the steel in them and the guy wire or Phillystran
for the tower?
Yes. In general, the guyed tower is cheaper for the height. And MUCH
better when you start getting up to 80-90 feet and above. For a self-supporter
you might need 6 cubic yards of concrete or more. That's significantly more
than for a guyed tower - e.g. 2-4 yards.
I was only talking about the steel in a tower. Anything else is up to
you and will obviously change the cost.
